Pros

Salary paid on time Nice location (Canary Wharf)

Cons

Unfortunately, the company has an intense bench period, taking several months to get on a project. Some of my colleagues have been on the bench for 2+ years, and no one truly cares about placing them on projects. They pretend to be interested in giving you tasks; at times, you'll receive emails and calls about project availability, but nothing happens in the end. Keep this in mind if you receive an offer from this company as a graduate. The first three months were spent on Java training, someone from India came to give us training, and you'll have to pass some tests (java basics and advanced java). After that, we were left with no clear direction, so giving those tests doesn't make any difference. Your manager will be based in India and won't be interested in your career growth. They expect you to spend time self-learning on their learning platform. It might sound fun getting paid for nothing, but it's more dangerous than what you think. You'll end up stuck in the company and gaining no real-world experience. Should you join the company? If you do receive an offer, accept it but keep on looking for something better. You have to be 100% proactive and self-disciplined. If you're not placed on a project six months after the initial training, look for something else. If you're lucky enough to get on a project, still look for something better once it's finished. If you sit comfortably, it can harm your career. Other cons: Slow salary growth Bureaucratic Lack of team spirit and company culture The constant change of management The company provides inefficient laptops Benefits are very basic.

Pros

The co workers were nice.

Cons

Low salary Terrible company politics Made fake promises around h1b filing but had to get exceptions and so much follow up and stuff to get it approved. Most managers dont give a s**** about your well being at all and they dont take your side when you are working with clients. If your client is miserable then your life is also miserable. The HR is also useless and incompetent for the most part. You cant even get screens and other equipments for your work. You need to go through ten rounds of some dumb approvals and what not and then even after that its not guaranteed. All the benefits I got were because I had good relations with my manager but this shouldnt be the case. Every employee should be treated equally.
